Answer:
16/7
Step-by-step explanation:
If the segments are congruent, their lengths are equal:
(1/2)x -3 = 5 -3x
(3 1/2)x = 8
x = 8/(3.5) = 16/7
The value of x is 16/7.
_____
<em>Comment on the question</em>
This value of x makes the lengths of the segments be -13/7 units. Usually, negative lengths are considered impossible for line segments.
I think the answer is a = 4.5
81 ÷ 6 ÷ 3 = 4.5
I hope this helps, have a wonderful day!
